"...Not to mention the vast sea of immortal scriptures, blessed lands and Grotto-Heavens—just the heavenly treasures within the Heavenly Court's treasury alone would ensure your cultivation never lacked resources. If you could..."
"Cough."
Xu Ming frowned slightly and looked over in displeasure.
Did she not know... interrupting someone was extremely rude?!
"What is it?"
Jiang Yuechu asked with utmost seriousness, "I have a question."

Though he grumbled inwardly, when faced with such a peerless genius carrying three Heavenly-Grade Dao Chess pieces, Xu Ming still suppressed his impatience and pondered for a moment.

A hundred of them...
Jiang Yuechu silently clenched her fists, feeling as though her heart were bleeding.
The drought-stricken died of thirst
